Poll: Most Disappointing Game of 2011?

[Samus Aran but a man]

Uncharted 3 disappointed me. I know I'm in the minority here, but the story was just too flawed for me to get engaged.

Also, Skyward Sword. My least favourite Zelda; I just found it tedious.

 

[Hosker]

Dragon Age 2 was rather disappointing, but still okay.

 

[Pat8u]

It was a pretty decent year.

Goty: Dark Souls

Most disappointing game: Uncharted 3 (6 hour single player and boring multiplayer)

Biggest fuckup: Skyrim on PS3. Bethesda should be in jail for false advertising and fraud.

how exactly do you imprision a corporation?

I'm going to be controversial and say Portal 2. It was by no means a bad game but we were promised a 10 hour epic with a substantial co-op. Instead the single player had some laughably easy achievements and got completed in ~4 hours. Also the co-op is boring to play with someone who has already completed it. I sold it within a week of its release.

But Brink tops this by far... ugh, it missed every single one of its goals by miles. If you were excited for it then you know how everyone felt when it got released.

Skyim on the PS3.

Damn you Bethesda. I gave you money and 70 hours of my time and I didn't to get finish it by far.

Never again will you get a pre-order from me.

Fix it or die!

I would tie Duke Nukem Forever with Skyrim.

DNF because it was bad and made no apologies suit, and Skyrim because it was SO far hyped. That being said Skyrim isn't BAD, just couldn't live up to anywhere near the hype.

Well when i think games of 2011 my heads thinks of these;

Dead Island, DA2, The Witcher 2, Skyrim, Saints row 3 and portal 2.

DA2 was absolutly terrible, they basically kicked pc gamers out on there arse saying "screw you", it was just terrible not going to say anything else considering the majority who have already posted about have pointed out it's flaws.

As for the rest i loved them all, the only one which disappointed me some was saints row, and this is purely because it seemed to me like alot of the content which should have been there was coming in dlc.

F.E.A.R. 3

Screw multiplayer being shoved into great SP games. Screw it right in its ear.

You do know that all the other FEAR games had multiplayer, right?

For me it was Brink. It was an ugly, buggy mess of game. To add insult to injury, I paid $60 and it was retailing for $20 less then a month later.

The only part of that game I really had any fun with was customizing my character and guns. I seriously think I spent more time doing that then actually playing the game.

I still have many of the year's biggest titles to play more or try out but what I've seen so far, it's been a nice year in gaming. Saint's Row 3 has a lot of things to do so it really feels like a sandbox game. Many others have just made the impression of having a city to scour through but then disappointed with too much linearity. I agree that Skyrim didn't feel as epic as people were lead into believing it would be but first impressions about the game were that it looked nice and played ok so I think I'll have fun in wandering and doing those quests.

To sum my opinion up, I think that Skyrim will be the worst letdown. I also felt that Duke Nukem Forever wasn't too good but actually I never expected it to be so I didn't fall from too high pedestal

Back to gaming now, have a nice xmastime people!

I think it was a fantastic year in gaming, best year in a while.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

well so far skyward sword, started it yesterday and god dammit it, it is the most tedious/annoying game i have played all year, dragon age 2 seems amazing compared to it.

maybe after 5-6 hours it gets better? still...god dammit this game is really really disappointing me so far.

 

[Cazza]

Dead Isand
Payday
Fable III
Brink

All sucked

Overall though

Better than average.

 

[Frankster]

Dragon Age 2 was this year right? Then that by far.

At least for Duke Nukem forever we all knew it was inevitably gonna suck, but da2... Well dont think anyone saw its fail coming.

Otherwise for the year in gaming... Mmm wasnt too bad, my tastes tend to differ from the norm (i really aint into fps) but i cant complain this year, i got rpgs and i got strategy games and i got to see a continuation of a game i loved (deus ex) that wasn't terribad (though i dont think its quite as good as some say it is).

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

This year was kind of meh for me. I played and bought a few games but only aboutl half of them did anything for me. I'd have to say that my most disappointing games were Skyrim for the ps3. The civil war questline seemed very unimportant and felt very tacked on, the main quest was insubstantial and was too much of a chore for me to bother with a second run,and the glitches made my heart hurt.
I did enjoy the new armor and weapon designs and the guild questlines as well as all the dwemer ruins however.
Sadly I've lost three files to glitches and memory problems so I wont be playing it anytime soon. I was very disappointed because i am a huge TES fan.

 

[coffeedrinker]

Star Wars: The Old Republic

It's an MMO for people who don't like MMOs, made by people who don't like MMOs.

Dito. Well said. I really hope there will be an announcement for KotoR 3 soon, but, well honestly i don´t think that will ever happen

 

[zombieshark6666]

My most dissapointing game is going to have to be Dark Souls, I started loosing interest but kept playing, then I got to Seath and just thought 'I am done with this game'. I didn't find it overly challenging, some of the bosses were awesome (here's looking at you big ass wolf) but overall, a big ol' merr. It's a shame because Demon's Souls was the reason I bought a ps3 and that was worth it and the some.

Explain yourself moar! I think I'm buying it today.

Most disappointing game: Uncharted 3 (6 hour single player and boring multiplayer)

Biggest fuckup: Skyrim on PS3. Bethesda should be in jail for false advertising and fraud.

how exactly do you imprision a corporation?

1. Be a US prosecution lawyer
2. Find evidence of individuals who sold broken product knowingly for millions of dollars
3. Make indictment list
4. Prosecute them
5. ???
6. Profit

 

[Amberella]

Uncharted 3
Skyrim
Saints Row The Third
Catherine

It was a good year for gaming! There will always be some bad titles though xD

Ha ha ha! Love how you've got this all planned out.

Skyrim really seems to have p***ed a lot of people off - was this all down to the bugs or was it the hype?
